  2. Singular point of a curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singular_point_of_a_curve

    A curve with a triple point at the origin: x(t) = sin(2t) + cos(t), y(t) = sin(t) + cos(2t) In general, if all the terms of degree less than k are 0, and at least one term of degree k is not 0 in f, then curve is said to have a multiple point of order k or a k-ple point.

  3. Cusp (singularity) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cusp_(singularity)

    Consider a smooth real-valued function of two variables, say f (x, y) where x and y are real numbers.So f is a function from the plane to the line. The space of all such smooth functions is acted upon by the group of diffeomorphisms of the plane and the diffeomorphisms of the line, i.e. diffeomorphic changes of coordinate in both the source and the target.

  4. Regular singular point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_singular_point

    Point a is an ordinary point when functions p 1 (x) and p 0 (x) are analytic at x = a. Point a is a regular singular point if p 1 (x) has a pole up to order 1 at x = a and p 0 has a pole of order up to 2 at x = a. Otherwise point a is an irregular singular point.

  5. Singular point of an algebraic variety - Wikipedia

    Points of V that are not singular are called non-singular or regular. It is always true that almost all points are non-singular, in the sense that the non-singular points form a set that is both open and dense in the variety (for the Zariski topology, as well as for the usual topology, in the case of varieties defined over the complex numbers).

  6. Convex curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convex_curve

    A convex curve can have at most a countable set of singular points, where it has more than one supporting line. All of the remaining points must be non-singular, and the unique supporting line at these points is necessarily a tangent line. This implies that the non-singular points form a dense set in the curve.

  7. Frobenius solution to the hypergeometric equation - Wikipedia

    But the solution at z = 0 is identical to the solution we obtained for the point x = 0, if we replace each γ by α + β − γ + 1. Hence, to get the solutions, we just make this substitution in the previous results. For x = 0, c 1 = 0 and c 2 = 1 − γ. Hence, in our case, c 1 = 0 while c 2 = γ − α − β. Let us now write the solutions.

  8. Resolution of singularities - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resolution_of_singularities

    Repeatedly blowing up the singular points of a curve will eventually resolve the singularities. The main task with this method is to find a way to measure the complexity of a singularity and to show that blowing up improves this measure. There are many ways to do this. For example, one can use the arithmetic genus of the curve.

  9. Singularity (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singularity_(mathematics)

    One could define the x-axis as a tangent at this point, but this definition can not be the same as the definition at other points. In fact, in this case, the x -axis is a "double tangent." For affine and projective varieties , the singularities are the points where the Jacobian matrix has a rank which is lower than at other points of the variety.
